Hi August,

On 2020-08-14 20:47:00, you wrote to me:

AA> HOW do you send a message without registering?

You don't create a regular account, but you create a bot. A bot can be created without the phone registration.

A bot can be talked to by regular users, and once they are connected a bot can send them messages.

But a bot itself can only be operated through the Telegram Bot API. I tried that directly with commands from the linux command line: 'curl https://something...', and through a python api that makes it easier to talk to the Telegram API from a python script...

Bye, Wilfred.
